Laurent Koscielny: Strong defensive shift versus Stoke
Koscielny made four interceptions in Sunday's goalless draw with Stoke.
Analysis:
Although Arsenal was under pressure from the Potters for much of the game, Koscielny was vigilant at the back and played well aside from one bungled clearance. He generally only makes offensive contributions from set pieces, making him fairly reliant on clean sheets and peripheral defensive stats to make a fantasy impact. He will remain a low-end option next week versus Chelsea.
